Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) in a small bowl. Carefully pour mixture into the jar using a canning funnel or rolled piece of wax paper (whoever you give the gift to will add the wet ingredients, so be sure to give them the recipe)

Lightly tamp flour mixture with an ice cream scoop or spoon, repeat after each ingredient to make sure all ingredients fit in the jar

Layer remaining ingredients (then tamp) one at a time. If needed, gently tap jar on a hard surface to further settle the ingredients. Seal jar with the lid

Decorate your jars with handwritten notes, tags or ribbons

Be sure to include accompanying baking instructions (provided below) for the cookies with your jars!
